Hi,Hi ,nice to see that, but including the samba versions would be the more related info ,instead of redhat versions
Sorry if I am stating the obvious, but I could not find any info anywhere about this issue.
Just a quick email to alert people to the fact that some posts that I have been scouring over suggest that certain individuals are unable to add users through usrmgr.exe. I have spent the last 4~5 hours hunting down this very problem looking at permissions, groups and so on. So I thought I would pass the info on.
It would appear the problem can arise due to the passwd chat (when called as root). I am running Redhat 9.0 and the usual passwd chat is slightly different to version 7.1 from which I took the smb.conf over from. Keyword (UNIX) seems to have been dropped.
I did read somewhere that some versions of unix/linux display ReType instead of Retype, although I cant confirm this.
7.0 expects *Changing*password*for*user*%u.\n*New*UNIX*password* %n\n *Retype*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
7.1 expects *Changing*password*for*user*%u.\n*New*UNIX*password* %n\n *Retype*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
whereas
7.2 expects *Changing*password*for*user*%u.\n*New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
and
9.x expects *Changing*password*for*user*%u.\n*New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
Dont have access to a version 8.0 box.
Hopefully this will save someone trawling though, passwd chat debug = yes, and 101 level debugs :-).
To:- samba-technical list. Would it not be possible to say add a dummy user account, change the passwd and capture the stdout, and delete dummy account, to populate the chat script automatically?
Best Regards Joe.
PS: I am not on list, so reply directly if you wish to make contact.
